Statin Drugs - Cholesterol lowering?

Statin Drugs - Cholesterol lowering? More like Cardiac Crippling!

 

******************************

" Reducing homocysteine, triglyceride, and C-reactive protein levels

is much more important to heart health than worrying about your

cholesterol. And the best way to reduce all of those levels

is to exercise, maintain a proper body weight, don't smoke,

limit alcohol consumption, increase your intake of omega-3

fatty acids, cut out the junk foods in favor of the soluble

fiber in fruits and vegetables, and take supplements that are

known to protect the heart. "

The above is great advice but advice the average person never gets

from their physician. Actually physicians seem to know this stuff but

they assume that their patients will not comply and few stress these

factors. When you look at the food that is served in cardiac units in

hospitals you start to realize how hopeless it is for any meaningful

change for the patient. In my experience with mainstream cardiac

patients they not only do not recieve information but they do not

want to make the changes anyway. Those that do are the exception and

exceptional! You got to realize that non growth people are attracted

to non growth physicians and what results is stagnation. By all

rights they should have the opportunity to be informed and choose but

in our culture if you want information and the freedom to choose you

have to go out there and create it for yourself.

 

A further note on statin drugs. In Europe statin drugs come

precompounded with CoEnzyme Q10 as those savy Europeans have long

realized that good outcome for vascular disease, cardiac failure,

diabetes and cancer is a hefty dose of this enzyme. Studies have

shown that statin drugs actually impare the body's ability to produce

CoEnzyme Q10 so the manufacturers supply it in each dose. You can

read the package inserts for some of the statin drugs and it talks

about CoEnzyme Q10 but still in the USA the pharmacies are not

promoting the compounded formula or heeding the advise in the package

inserts.

 

Best,
